High Sierra didn’t exaggerate the name of its A.T. Gear Ultimate Access 36-inch drop-bottom Wheeled Duffel. As the biggest wheeled bag in High Sierra’s stable, the bag really does provide the utmost in storage — a whopping 9,576 cubic inches (that’s really, really big), weighing only 12 pounds. The vast main compartment has an easy- access, U-shaped opening, and the spacious drop- bottom can hold shoes, boots and other gear. Or zip out the mesh divider separating the top and bottom sections and you’ve got a veritable tomb for your treasures. Even at this size, the company figured there might still be occasions for hoisting the bag, so backpack straps are built in behind the zippered padded back panel. Heave ho.
